Handy
The relatively new false friend Handy is the normal word in German for mobile phone. Zum Glück hatte ich mein Handy dabei might therefore be translated as Fortunately I had my mobile phone with me.
The German, however, has nothing to do with the English word handy meaning convenient or useful. This adjective is best translated by the word praktisch in German. So you might translate the sentence a mobile phone comes in very handy these days by Ein Handy ist heute sehr praktisch.
Reichstag
Built between 1881 and 1894, the Reichstag served as the parliament of the German Empire. It was set on fire under suspicious circumstances in 1933, an event used by Hitler as an excuse to suspend human rights. During the Third Reich it hosted Nazi propaganda presentations and served as a gynaecological ward during the war. After reunification, the building was rebuilt to incorporate a huge glass dome. It has been the seat of the German parliament again since 1999.
